Well, the question of veracity could be posed of all political parties when it comes to manifestos, over the years, I think.
Sure, but you don't seem to be calling for elections if parties don't carry out their main promises do you.
I mean some of those promises may be impossible or maybe to be charitable events happen to stop them that couldn't be foreseen (in most cases it won't be).
The point being that all veracity at some point has to meet with the compromise of the possible.
Except for liars of course, which is almost a requirement for politicians.
However, if, for example, I voted for a candidate who was then elected I wouldn't be happy in the slightest if they defected to another party; quite the opposite. There should be a by-election, in my opinion. No matter which party.
It's an opinion....it has some credit but as all parties have done it I don't think it's ever going to happen and to be honest it's not that practical.
As I said, if people have an issue they get a vote soon enough anyway.
